Our Story

Story

In the Spring of 1946, Irvin Simon founded a small photography studio in the basement of his house. With an unwavering commitment to quality he set out to establish the gold standard for children’s school photography. More than 75 years later this commitment still stands, and schools continue to recognize Irvin Simon Photographers as the industry leader. The company is still family-owned and operated, and is located in Long Island, New York, not far from Irvin Simon’s original home.

With smiles you can count on since 1946, we are big enough to meet your needs and small enough to care.
